Whoop whoop! This is even better than I was expecting!

The time zone thing is still throwing me off. I had my phone off to work and completely missed the big announcement! I'm always late to the party

Such happy news to wake up to!

[InBetweenDays]

This is absolutely incredible!!!!

I kind of yelped when I read it, then read it out loud to H. The kids looked at me like "what's the big deal?" I think since it's already legal here and they know a number of same sex couples they don't get what a momentous part of history this is. I both want them to understand, and love that this is already normal for them.

I totally yelped at work and everyone turned and stared at me. Hahahahaha. 

They didn't get the big deal either since it's already legal here.

I had the pleasure of meeting the lawyers who brought the Cincinnati section of the case at a Planned Parenthood fundraising dinner. They are fascinating people and they do some amazing work for the cause. Jim Obergefell is local to me and we have a lot of mutual friends, it's been a big conversation in Cincy for a while. It's always been known as a super conservative city and it's finally starting to turn around a bit.

This has me all misty.

theoriginalbean, right in the feels.

My SIL and her SO of the past (I think) 14 years said several years ago that they wouldn't get married until marriage equality existed everywhere in the US. I think they have other reasons to not get married, but I hope they do now. I love me some weddin's

I know I'm PMSing, but honestly, this would make me severely tear up even if I weren't. I'm soooooo happy!!!!

Pride Week just got ratcheted up off the hook I think

theoriginalbean That gif is crazy, I never realized. Thank God for the Supreme Court finding the CORRECT answer (if entering into marriage isn't about the pursuit of happiness at its core base, I don't know what would be) and wiping out those swaths of states that remained.

Man you guys I am a mess right now. I couldn't hold it in any longer. Same love by macklemore just came up on my rotation and I just burst in to tears on my commute home. Of course everyone started staring at me too. Lol.

I can't believe this day has finally come.

I love this. And so many getting behind taking down the confederate flag. Change happens slowly, but we've seen some amazing changes in our lifetime. First black president, hopefully a woman soon. We are witnessing history and creating a much better world for our children. It's so amazing that our children will never understand a world where same sex marriage wasn't allowed.

YES. It's not politics, it's real people using their influence to impact positive change. I teared up.

If you want to replace your tears with eye rolls, read the dissents.
